Race to Nowhere

Thank you Mother Jones for helping me find this great documentary about our education system. This documentary seems to highlight things that I have been saying for a long time. America's education system is so focused on product and not about solving problems or critical learning. Embedded here is a video of a discussion regarding the film that I feel touches on a lot of these problems directly.

Visit the Race to Nowhere site for more information and to watch trailers and clips.

Note on the Blogesphere

"Blogumnetary" is a funny and engaging documentary about the power of blogs. It is long (1 hour) so sit back and pop some popcorn.

I found this video on a Open CourseWare class through MIT titled Gender and Media Studies: Women and the Media. I have decided to "take" this course because I have been studying this topic in another class and think it would be interesting to incorporate my own personal research. 

Happy Monday,
